Yep, just got that myself. I tweeted at them about it.

Edit: they're working on it.

The My Bitter Wife is drinking beautifully, with massive citrus and mango aromas and a long, resinous finish. Glad to see them canning this one. Hanlan's Point also impressed, as the coconut, roast, and coffee flavours are very well-integrated. Both available at the retail store right now.

I was talking to someone at GLB last week and they said the LCBO delayed it due to ingredients and or labelling.

Looking forward to trying this. Quite enjoyed last years version.

You guys have any plans to make some NE style IPA's like Trillium or Treehouse in the near future?!?
